Qsan 10GbE iSCSI High Availability Storage Solutions for Cloud Computing

Online, October 7, 2009 (Newswire.com) - The P500H storage solution can provide users for dual active protection, high bandwidth cache mirroring, seamless management, multiple target nodes, high availability / load-balancing, and high performance. Qsan redundant controllers are designed on its own invented technology of active-active controller configuration, and it doesn't compromise to the performance. P500H IOPS is up to 210K and the throughput is up to 1200MB/s. At drive-side, P500H supports both SAS and SATA II interfaces. With the green feature of disk auto spindown and advanced cooling, the whole system including P500H and expansion JBOD enclosures can achieve high power efficiency and save the overall drive power cost. By the characteristics of high availability, scalability, sustainability, and high IOPS, the 10GbE iSCSI redundant controller can be applied to SQL/Exchange storage, high efficient file backup, virtualization environment, cloud storage, and high end verticals.

This October, Qsan's partners - Enhance Technology and Proware Technology will present the latest redundant 10GbE iSCSI storage solutions - 3160TG and EP-3164D-GAS3 which are integrated with Qsan's P500H 10GbE iSCSI -SAS/SATA II redundant controllers.

According to Daniel Lin, Sales Director of Qsan Technology, Inc., "Qsan iSCSI RAID controllers have been proven and installed in various applications and environments. The new P500H redundant 10GbE iSCSI controller is designed for critical requirements, such as non-stop service, high reliability, scalability, sustainability, virtualization, and of course, with a reasonable price. It is not only for cloud storage/application but also high end verticals. We are proud and confident that P500H is the best price-performance solutions to our customers."
